What if I was alright? What if I wasn't wound so tight? What if I had the balls to be bad? Would you still look at me like that? Would you be mad that I had held the old me back?
Why can't I be somebody else? Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
Maybe I was too much Maybe I'll take it down a notch Maybe I'll have the guts to go mad Maybe I'll mess me up real bad Maybe I'll make you wish you had the old me back
Why can't I be somebody else? Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me
What if I can't remember who I'm trying to be?
Why can't I be somebody else? Somebody who isn't too cool to believe it's okay to be just me Just me...

Just when everything was runnin' clean I heard a big bang from the back of my brain Like a rusty gear I'm grindin' at my teeth Hopin' I don't break down 'til I'm outta the rain Soakin' wet I can't forget what happened here I get goin' pretty fast and
That's when I crash into my past Just when I thought it might be gone at last That's when I crash into my past Just when I think I'm havin' my last laugh, that's when I crash
Swimmin' in and out of interstate Watchin' the breaklights bleed like the look in my eye Speedin' up to lose the love I left behind But every headlight stares like it sees through my lie With the windows down I never hear the sound Breakin' on me with a blast and
That's when I crash into my past Just when I thought it might be gone at last That's when I crash into my past Just when I think I'm havin' my last laugh, that's when I crash
Lala lalala la la
Soakin' wet I can't forget what happened here I get goin' pretty fast Before I notice
That's when I crash into my past Just when I thought it might be gone at last That's when I crash into my past Just when I think I'm havin' my last laugh, that's when I crash
I was totally cool with the way things were goin' Wasn't movin' too fast but my speed wasn't slowin' Ducks in a row Nice and easy I was fine with the fact that my heart wasn't showin' I was figurin' half of the battle was knowin' that we could go down Nice and easy But then you let me in your house And threw me on your yellow couch You grabbed my head and then you made me wonder when
We'll do it all again We'll do it all again Stumble and fall Then do it all again
We were doin' ok when we lived in the moment But a moment is only as long as ya hold it and when we let go Nothin' was easy Ya kicked me out and took me back You took me out and kicked me back I broke our favorite record but it never ends
We'll do it all again We'll do it all again Stumble and fall Then do it all again
But then you let me in your house And threw me on your yellow couch Ya grabbed my head and then ya made me wonder when
We'll do it all again We'll do it all again Stumble and fall Then do it all again
Lyin’ on our backs We were swimmin’ in the grass holdin’ hands Undressin’ all the stars Makin’ constellations right in my backyard Everything connected easy then
Searchin’ for the satellites
Searchin’ for the satellites To me they all just look like stars
We stole your daddy’s car Hit the interstate and bought a deck of cards Yellin’ gin’ all night Shinin’ flashlights up into the drunken sky Trying to find a meaning in our lives
Searchin’ for the satellites
Searchin’ for the satellites To me they all just look like stars ...
We crumpled time into a ball We squeezed the juice out of the stars Drinkin’ every drop of cosmic wine We pissed it up into the air And let the drops fly everywhere Spreadin’ out the temporary light ...
Lyin’ on our backs We were swimmin’ in the grass holdin’ hands Undressin’ all the stars Makin’ constellations right in my backyard Everything connected easy then
Searchin’ for the satellites....
Searchin’ for the satellites To me they all just look like stars
You had us all fooled for a little while With your silly little crooked LA smile But she caught on just a little too late You had practically moved in by the second date yeah But who could really blame ya
Everybody’s guilty of that kinda thing sometimes Maybe you’ll be smarter if you get a second try
It could be worse, could be better We could hold ya to the letter We could keep ya to your word It could be worse, could be better Yeah ya thought ya could forget her For what it’s worth, take my word It could be worse
I guess you had it all figured out Oh but you underestimated the power of doubt And when I got my chance I didn’t hold back I told her what I thought of your little escapades and Then I helped her pack But who could really blame me
Everybody’s guilty of that kinda thing sometimes Maybe you’ll be smarter if you get a second try
It could be worse, could be better We could hold ya to the letter We could keep ya to your word It could be worse, could be better Yeah ya thought ya could forget her For what it’s worth, take my word It could be worse
Everybody’s guilty of that kinda thing sometimes Maybe you’ll be smarter if you get a second try
It could be worse, could be better We could hold ya to the letter We could keep ya to your word It could be worse, could be better Yeah ya thought ya could forget her For what it’s worth, take my word It could be worse
The streetlight whines through my cheap venetian blinds The hip-hop beats will not go to sleep So I slip outside and go stalkin’ in the night ‘Cause I don’t know what to do about my life
So I’m watchin’ you sleep Right outside your window Inches away from sleepin’ with you And you don’t even know it Watchiin’ you sleep all night
All day long I’ve been sleepin’ like a log I dream your face through the window at your place I guess it’s wrong, but I’ve been lonely for so long And I don’t know what to do about my life
So I’m watchin’ you sleep Right outside your window Inches away from sleepin’ with you Dreamin’ in the deep end Watchin’ you sleep all night
I confess, I looked up your work address It wasn’t fate that bumped into you that day But it’s still me who holds your hand when you’re asleep ‘Cause you don’t know what to do about your life
So I’m watchin’ you sleep Right outside your window Inches away from sleepin’ with you And you don’t even know it Watchin’ you sleep all night

We had a moment We had a long talk We had a few laughs We had a night off We had a few drinks We happened so fast Before I noticed We had a sofa I know, I know, I know, I know we had a few flights I don’t see why we had to say bye
